📋 THEMATIC OVERVIEW
🎭 HUNTER MASK FILES — THE GHOST 🎭
The Ghost is not a Hunter you stumble into. It demands patience, precision, and a strict adherence to sequence. Located in West Potomac Park at the Washington Monument, this encounter requires Agents to solve a multi-step ritual under a tight nighttime window — three graves, three salutes, a terminal, and a red circle on the ground. Every step must be completed between 21:00 and 05:00 in-game time or the entire sequence resets. This file covers everything you need to trigger the Ghost, survive the fight, and claim Ivory Key #8.
🔶 GETTING STARTED — CONTROL POINT & TERMINAL
Before anything else, the Washington Monument Control Point must be captured and held by friendly forces. Once secured, access the supply room via rope inside the control point and interact with the computer terminal. This interaction is critical — it reveals the three grave locations across West Potomac Park and officially begins the trigger sequence. Do not skip this step. The graves mean nothing without the terminal activation first.
🔶 THE THREE GRAVES — LOCATIONS & RITUAL
All three graves must be visited in nighttime hours between 21:00 and 05:00. At each grave the ritual is identical — stand behind the grave, face the Washington Monument, and perform the Salute emote. All three must be completed before daylight or the sequence resets entirely.
Grave Locations:
• Grave 1 — South of Flooded Levee CP (Coordinates: 1144, 2607)
• Grave 2 — South of the Washington Monument, near the Hummer (Coordinates: 1947, 2862)
• Grave 3 — Northeast of the Monument, across the street (Coordinates: 1102, 3012)
Plan your route before deploying. The nighttime window is limited and navigating between all three locations takes time.
🔶 RETURNING TO THE TERMINAL — FINAL ACTIVATION
Once all three graves have been saluted, return to the Washington Monument terminal — it must still be nighttime when you interact with it again. The screen will display a large circle or eclipse symbol, confirming the sequence has been accepted. Exit the building and locate the red circle on the ground outside. Stand inside it. The Ghost Hunter will spawn for the final engagement.
🔶 COMBAT WARNINGS & RECOMMENDED PREP
The Ghost is not a straightforward fight. Expect heavy EMP and skill disruption throughout the encounter — do not rely on skills or gadgets as primary damage sources. The Hunter repositions aggressively and punishes slow reaction time hard. Agents who stand still or try to out-tank the Ghost will struggle.
Recommended loadout:
• Weapon-focused DPS build — skills will be disrupted
• Stay mobile at all times and use cover consistently
• Complete all trigger steps before daylight to avoid a full reset
Solo and duo runs are manageable. Group runs can speed up the fight but the trigger sequence remains the same regardless of group size.
🔶 MASK REWARD & IVORY KEY #8
Defeating the Ghost Hunter rewards the Ghost Mask and Ivory Key #8. For Agents working toward the Ivory Cache — which requires all 12 Ivory Keys — the Ghost is one of the final pieces of that collection. Securing this key puts completion within reach.
🔶 LORE NOTE — WHY THE GHOST MATTERS
The Ghost isn’t just another Hunter. It’s the final confirmation. Every step of this encounter — the terminal, the graves, the salutes, the red circle — exists to test whether an Agent is paying attention. You followed every clue. You solved every step. And still it shows up ready to end you. That’s the Ghost. Respect the sequence and come prepared.
